Hayden was lucky at Ranger, where, as he puts it, "nobody knew what was going on.'' In the week-long battle for the hilltop fire base, a number of U.S. helicopters were shot down, and more than a few of those that wobbled back to Khe Sanh were thoroughly shot up. Since the Laotian operation began on Feb. 8, the loss rate of U.S. helicopters -normally about one per 16,000 sorties -has quadrupled. So far during the Laos operation, Communist gunners have knocked out no fewer than 61 helicopters, about 10% of the fleet originally committed...
...police and militiamen swept through Quebec in a week-long blitz that involved 1600 raids and bagged more than 375 prisoners, it became clear that the government was carrying out a well-coordinated strategy of political terror. Very few of those arrested could be directly linked to the FLQ; most were a broad assortment of politicians, labor leaders and other public figures who sympathized with the underground terrorist group but did not endorse its activities...

Still, Mrs. Meir's Knesset speech was not a definite rejection. Nor have Israel's opponents thus far rejected Rogers' proposals. Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who arrived in Moscow for a week-long official visit, met three times with Soviet Communist Boss Leonid Brezhnev and Premier Aleksei Kosygin, principally to discuss the U.S. overture. At the United Nations, Russian Ambassador Yakov Malik indicated that Moscow might be amenable to something less than complete Israeli withdrawal. Russia's Ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Dobrynin, made the same point six weeks ago in the private discussions...
They are all good. The best is the Orson Welles (1001 Mass Ave.) which is run by freaks. Get one of their calendars, because they have week-long festivals, at least one of which during the summer will be of some director or genre which you love. The others are the Harvard Sq. (in the Square), the Brattle Sq. (in Brattle Sq.) and the Central Sq. (in Central Sq.). They all show a lot of good movies...
